Image

Export image definition file as a .jidf file (JSON format) |
| With this option, you can use your image with other ELIAS 18 instances. |
Container
|
Export image definition file and herein defined packages in a .zip file (Admin role required) |
Use this option to manage an individual image and its variants in a dedicated container. To do so, create an additional container and import the .zip file. |
The .zip archive contains the image definition file as a .jidf file (in JSON format) and as a .idffile (in formerly used text format). |

Click Export.
The image is exported as defined and made available as a download by your browser.
Note:
Templates can also be exported for use in other ELIAS 18 instances.
Exporting image definition file as an .idf file
Images created with ELIAS 18 can also be exported to the formerly used [.idf] format (plain text). This option helps you use an ELIAS 18 image in the legacy ELIAS application for mixed environments, for example.

In the Image Library, open the relevant image.
-
Modify the URL shown in the browser’s address bar as follows:
- Replace the string
container by api
- Insert the string
export/ before the image name
- Replace the file extension
.jidf by .idf
Example: .../elias/container/UC_RP6_X64/recovery.jidf] changes to [.../elias/api/UC_RP6_X64/export/recovery.idf
-
Call the URL (for example via Return).
From the current image, an .idffile is created and made available as a download by your browser.
